The Zeta Psi fraternity is not recognized by UC Berkeley. According to students and police, it has a reputation for throwing large, often very rowdy parties attended by hundreds of people.

Police say they have been called to the off-campus fraternity house in the past.

As recently as October, officers shut down an out-of-control gathering hosted by Zeta Psi.

Following the incident, city officials posted a notice outside the frat house door warning of a $750 fine if there were additional violations.
